About HomeLink
If your vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink
®
Universal Transceiver, you can operate up to
three Radio Frequency (RF) devices, including
garage doors, gates, lights, and security
systems.
Note: Depending on date of manufacture,
market region, and options selected at time of
purchase, some vehicles are not equipped
with a HomeLink Universal Transceiver.
Warning: Do not use the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver with a device that
does not have safety stop and reverse
features. Using a device without these
safety features increases the risk of injury
or death.
Programming HomeLink
To program HomeLink:
1. Park Model 3 in front of the device you
want to program, and have the device's
remote control ready.
Caution: Your device might open or
close during programming. Before
programming, make sure that the
device is clear of any people or
objects.
2. Touch the HomeLink icon on the top of
the touchscreen.
3. Touch Create HomeLink, then enter a
name for your HomeLink device.
4. Touch Program.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions and then
press Start.
Once programmed, you can operate the
device by touching its corresponding
HomeLink icon on the touchscreen's status
bar. HomeLink remembers the location of your
programmed devices. When you approach a
known location, the HomeLink control on the
touchscreen automatically drops down. When
you drive away, it disappears.
Auto Opening and Closing
To operate a HomeLink device without
touching the touchscreen, you can automate
the device to open as you approach and close
as you drive away:
• Touch the HomeLink icon on the top of
the touchscreen and choose the device
you want to automate.
• Select the
Auto-open when arriving
checkbox.
• Touch the arrows to specify the distance
you want your vehicle to be from the
device before it opens.
• Select the Auto-close when leaving
checkbox if you want the device to close
as you drive away.
As you approach (or drive away from) a
device that is set to operate automatically, the
HomeLink status icon displays a count-down
message to let you know when the device will
automatically open. In situations where you
don't want the device to automatically open
or close, touch Skip Auto-Open or Skip Auto-
Close at any time during the count-down
message.
Resetting the Location of the
HomeLink Device
If you experience situations in which you
sometimes drive up to your HomeLink device
and it doesn't open, or the HomeLink icon on
the touchscreen's status bar does not display
the dropdown when you approach the device,
you may need to reset the device's location.
To do so, park as close as possible to the
HomeLink device (garage door, gate, etc.) and
display the HomeLink settings page by
touching the HomeLink icon on the top of the
touchscreen. Touch the name of the device
you want to reset, then Reset Location.
Deleting a Device
To delete a HomeLink device, touch the
HomeLink icon on the top of the touchscreen.
Touch the name of the device you want to
delete, then touch Delete.
Note: You can also perform a factory reset to
erase your HomeLink settings, along with all
other personal data (saved addresses, music
favorites, imported contacts, etc.). See Erasing
Personal Data on page 97.
Note: For security reasons, delete your
HomeLink devices if you sell your Model 3.

When programming a HomeLink device, the
touchscreen walks you through a two-part
programming process:
